  • Oprah Winfrey is expressing regret for being a “steadfast participant” in diet culture. Last year, Winfrey acknowledged that she was taking a weight loss drug. She dropped 40 pounds and quit the board of Weight Watchers. The former TV host says she is still embarrassed about that legendary TV moment when she wheeled out 67 pounds of fat on a little red wagon way back in 1988. Inside Edition’s Jim Moret has more.
